The wife and I would like to visit Gods Country this winter with the hope of catching a Northern Lights show. Any recommendations on where to go, where to stay? Thanks,

Anywhere outside of a light polluted town/city. They have been spectacular here in Bethel.
You can piddle with the puppies, or run with the wolves...

They were nice in Barrow. But if you don't want to go that far, just north or south of Fairbanks can still give you some good northern lights.

Chena hot springs might be a good choice. That way if the lights aren't out, at least you can enjoy the hot springs.

That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

The two Northern lights displays that were the most memorable were flying into Fairbanks in February for a meeting and watching them from the air with all the colors, and this past Saturday night in Anchorage where they were the most active I've ever seen them.

This past saturday must have been great. We were in Delta and solid cloud cover and low, and you could STILL see the activity... but no photos...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
